While I heartily agree, I'm pretty sure senders can't do much about them.
As I understand it, the servers automatically add it to all outgoing mail
from their accounts. I avoid Wanadoo branding only by using a non-Wanadoo
address on outgoing mail, even though it goes through a Wanadoo server.
I hope users do not find the PGP branding on my mails offensive: I have had
repeated problems with spammers passing themselves off as me, and PGP is
the only solution I've found that allows others to distinguish genuine from
fake e-mails purporting to come from me. If it is a problem, I should be
able to reconfigure PGP so that it doesn't sign messages to the list.
